Lightning Blue Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Well done Robert driving home with a trifecta in that one. bit of trotting stamina required. PJ racing along with the speed of an 'Everest runner' early on, but has tired late. more treadmill work required PJ ? 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
